Questions

Can I use these chimpanzee sounds in a YouTube video or a paid project?

Yes. Every clip here is CC0, public domain or CC BY, and all of those allow use in monetised videos, podcasts, games, apps and client work, with no fee and no need to ask.

Do I need to give credit for these chimpanzee sounds?

Only for three of the four clips, the ones marked CC BY 4.0. Put the credit line in your description or end credits, for example "Eastern Chimpanzee, Elliot Greiner, CC BY 4.0", "Eastern Chimpanzee, Elliot Greiner, CC BY 4.0" and "Chimpanzee, Elliot Greiner, CC BY 4.0". The other one need no credit.

Do all chimpanzees sound the same?

No. Each species has its own calls, which is why this page has two of them: Eastern Chimpanzee and Chimpanzee. If you are trying to name one you heard, start with the species found near you.
